Cajunland Return
Well, I managed to make it back from Cajun country with only a minor hiccup that caused me to wander for two hours around the new super-ultra-mega mall smack between Dallas and Ft. Worth while my car was being repaired. It was quite disturbing overall, but there was an Indian (dots) woman selling something at a kiosk who had the most beautiful speaking voice I've ever heard. I made it back from Baton Rouge in 24 hours, 6 minutes and spent the entire next day coming down off the caffene high.
I had a couple weeks to relax and just in time for school to resume (after nine months being away) I had the joy of finding out that I'm on 28 hour recall status to go fight in a silly war in the middle east at "a classified location" that happens to be flat and brown (I saw unclassified pictures). I've yet to chat with any informed person that thinks this crap is necessary - sheesh! I was all good with the guy before he started spewing the "Axis of Evil" crap. Come the fuck on, man, for the love of Pete! I think I'll go back to voting exclusively for people I know will lose from now on.
To round off that mess I somehow got it into my head that class started today and not yesterday so I effectively ditched the first session of five of my classes. The Profs. that know me were scared that I was battling in the aforementioned war and the ones I didn't just think I'm a slacker now. Boy, doesn't James feel stupid [nod].
The class I had today was good, though. The teacher is a Priest of an as of yet unnamed religion (Not a Jesuit, though) and he's teaching a facinating class on Buddhism. He's apparently been teaching college for over 40 years and it shows in his crotchety nature and brilliant lecture style. That class should be great, I hope I can finish it.
